BINGO: Scarborough, ‘If We Attack Christie, We Have to Go After Obama’

The hosts and guests of MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday offered their thoughts on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s marathon press conference regarding the apparently vindictive lane closures on the George Washington Bridge which emails have revealed were aimed at causing headaches for the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee. Host Joe Scarborough said it was hypocritical to attack Christie for fostering a “culture” that permitted this behavior from his subordinates and not attack President Barack Obama for the same thing.

“Is this as bad as the IRS scandal that Barack Obama basically just sort of brushed off?” Scarborough asked Donny Deutsch. “I think if we are going to be critical of Chris Christie, we have to be critical of a culture in Washington D.C. where Barack Obama has allowed one scandal after another to break and then say, oh, I didn’t know anything about it.”
